Any songs you are currently learning that are driving you nuts?

I am having issues with the repetitive riff (but hard for me as I have small hands) in Stevie Wonder's I Wish.

Anyone else about to throw their bass through a window?

Funny, I am having the same problem with the same riff as well.

Atheist's "Retribution." Fairly fleet-fingered, but what kills me is the reptition of the main bass riff. The others aren't so difficult, but there's a whole bunch of parts to the song.

Yes. The verse riff to The Offsprings' "Self Esteem" is driving me nuts.

I just cannot play it cleanly, at least not as cleanly as the recording I jam along with.

Oh, and this is a song I am auditioning for a band with tomorrow. Aaaargh!!!

With any luck it's one of those "sounds OK to everyone but the player playing it" thing

some skunk funk by the brecker brothers, it has some seriously complicated rythms and accents! But i've nearly got it...

teen town and portrait of tracy... need i say more?

Flecktones - Stomping Grounds

I always have problems with some riffs, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one . I always think I suck when I can't get a riff that SHOULD come easy to me. For me, well I've been working on the really fast riff that goes with the guitar in Pantera's The Art Of Shredding, I suck

the main riff to Hendrix' "Crosstown Traffic" - especially when trying to sing while playing it.

Teen Town but I got it down as of 2 days ago!
